Community, Health and Capital @ 19 Hills
A podcast series exploring new approaches to primary care, public health and public service delivery, supporting the 19 Hills Wellbeing Centre and community activities in Ringland, a small area in the east of Newport in south east Wales.
We talk to colleagues and partners around the UK and beyond on how shifting to prevention, prioritising action on the Social Determinants of health and community-owned models of service delivery could change lives - and give staff a better job and purpose.

International health partnerships and frugal innovation with Dr Matt Harris
Let us know what you think of the show
In this episode we speak with Dr Matt Harris, Clinical Senior Lecturer in Public Health at Imperial College London, on how working overseas in low- and middle-income countries changed his perspective and practice and how such experiences, including in a partnership arrangement, could share learning, improve services and build solidarity between the UK and other countries.
Matt published a book in 2023 on Decolonizing Healthcare Innovation, setting out how the UK could address many health challenges if it adopted a more humble and proactive approach to learning from work in other contexts. We talk about how partnerships between Wales and the UK could be developed with partners abroad, how this can benefit services back in the UK and some practical steps to bringing this to life.
